Kenya parliament has ordered a forensic audit on the Ksh618 million ($4.14 million) that Kenyatta University spent to acquire its campus in Kigali, with former Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i distancing himself from a directive to shut it down.
The National Assembly Public Investment Committee on Education, which is chaired by Bumula MP Jack Wamboka, has directed the Auditor-General to investigate after it emerged that Kenyatta University (KU) may have bought the two properties at inflated prices.
